Republican turnout outpaced Democrats by more than 5,000 registered voters.

The turnout breaks down into percentages as follows:

39 percent Republican

37 percent Democrat

24 percent Unaffiliated/Other

It's impossible to know how any of these people actually voted until the votes are tallied. The number of unaffiliated/other voters makes it impossible to draw conclusions about which presidential candidate may be ahead at this point.

However, the numbers can be a helpful indicator of the enthusiasm of each party's base.

The Secretary of State's office is expected to release another report on Friday.

Both major Presidential campaigns are focused on their ground games in Colorado, turning supporters out to the polls.

By contrast, the report released about this time in the 2008 election showed heavier turnout by Democrats, though overall turnout was much lower, with only 85,000 ballots cast.
